HARDLY POSSIBLE.

Several complaints have recently
been brought to the ears of the GLOBE
by parties who assert that the coal
dealers are giving them short weight,
and they wanttO know what is to be
done about it. One complainant says
that he has bin which when built was
measured to hold six tons of coal and
for the last two years he has been in
the habit of buying six tons of coal at
time and the bin was always filled.
This season he bought six tons from
the same dealer. but, when it was put
in. the bin was only little over two
thirds full. Another complainant says
about the same thing of all eight-ton
bin. and half dozen of
others complain of similar
shortage, all of whom intimate that
there is 4 conspiracy among the coal
dealers to further assess consumers by
giving false weight. The GLOBE is free
TO say that it does not join i'll this Opin-
ion of our st. Paul coal dealers, for the
gentlemen who are engaged in the local
trade are not persons who would be
guilty of such diSreputable practices.
1t would be downright stealing. But if
any one has reason TO believe that he is
getting less coal than he bargained for
he has the privilege of having it re-
weighed. That would settle all doubt
that might exist in the mind of the pur-
chaser and would relieve the seller of
all suspicion.

BARNUMS BURNING.

Some years ago Hon. PHINEAs L.
BARNUM delivered himself of the re-
mark, which has become historic, that
1.-The American public loves to be hum
bugged." He has at divers times illus
trated the declaration with several
practical and highly successful exam
pies of humbuggery.
His most recent endeaYOr was at the
burning a few days ago of his Great
est Show on Earth" The loss was put
at the tidy sum of three-quarterS of
million; elephants were supposed to
have broken loose and taken possession
of the streets; tigers, lions and other
wild animals were said TO be at large,
making free lunches out of convenient
cattle; and. in the classic language Of
the late lamented Lord DCNDREARY,
"a deuce of a time was to pay all
around.
The marvellous tale was flashed by
telegraph all over the land and appeared
i'll every daily newspaper in the coun-
try-publicati0ns that would have cost
Hon. PHINEAS million or more had
he paid for their assertion. And now it
appears that the fire was but Il trifiing
one after all, and that The losses were
we'll covered by insurance. But the
humbugging had been done successfully
and the BARNUM show continues to be
the best advertised aggregation going.
We are constrained to admire the vet
eran showman'S recognition Of an OPP
pOrtunity, and to wonder whether the
press agent in Bridgeport will now re-
tire with competence as the result of
his complaiSant descriptive ability.

undoubtedly to the benefit Of travellers.
In the nature of things it would be to
the advantage of the railroad to give
satisfactory hotel service to the people
whom it might carry TO the
park. 1t could even afford to run the
hotels without profit as a convenience
to tourists, from whom it does make
profit, and as an inducement for more
extensive passenger traffic. There is
no such inducement to provide rea-
sonable and good service if the hotels
are managed by syndicate with which
the road has no connection, or for
whose action it is not responsible.
Tourists attracted out into wild aud
barren, though wonderful, region by
JudiciOus advertising, are entitled to
considerable treatment; and judging
from the Northern Pacihc's recent
move toward the betterment of its pas
senger service, there would be no doubt
but that they would receive it in the
park if the railroad were solely RESPONSE
Die for the hotel management.

SCARED HIM WITH A GUN.
"A BurgI ariOus Tramp Encounters
a Brave Girl and is Routed.

Farmer Higgins, who owns comfort
able farm near AndOver, Conn, has a
daughter Frances. who has recently
gained deal Of renown as brave girl.
The other afternoon her father and
mother drove off to Hartford to do lit
tie trading, leaving frankie in charge
of the house. The ''help" was away
visiting the help at farmhouse a half
mile distant, and the farm hands were
at work in the field.
frankie amused herself with a book
after the old folks had gone away. and
was quite interested in the narrative.
About o'clock she heard noise as of
some one stealthily proving about
down stairs, and, putting aside her
the hallway at the head of the stairs
she looked down, thinking that one of
he farm hands had entered the house,
or that perhaps the servant girl had cut
short her visit. when, to her cOnsterna-
ton, she beheld typical Connecticut
tramp prowling about.
Respectable trampS rarely venture
into Connecticut, the laws provided for
that sort of gentry being generally con-
sidered unhealthy, and what tramps
there are have gained reputation for
desperate and daring deeds. frankie
at once bethOught herself of the family
silver, a number of old and valued
articles of Old-time SOlidity. But what
was she to DO? To scream might be dis
astrouS to herself, and she didn't see
how it could possibly do her any good.
There was no weapon up stairs, and
while she did not like the idea of doing
nothing while the tramp went through
the family lockers, she had no assurance
that he wouldn't come up stairs later
and espy her.
frankie suddenly remembered that
her fathers old shotgun hung behind
the door in the back hallway, and she at
once determined to secure this and drive
off the ugly and Notwithstanding Wis
itor. Ascertaining that the tramp was
searching about in the parlOr frankie
stole noiselessly down the back stairs,
and having obtained the gun raised it to
her shoulder and walked into the par
lor. The tramp'S back was turned, and
so, summOning up her deepest voice,
she demanded:
Here, sir, what are you doing here?"
Thus Intercepted the Tramp turned
quickly about, but recOiled when the
muZzle of the gun was almost thrust in
his face.
'You empty your pockets and march
out of here in quick time or Eli give you
both barrels" was the next remark of
Miss frankie.
The tramp looked at first i;s though
he would spring at the girl and tried to

REMEMBER THE POOR.

The secretary of the Relief society
announces that there are many poor
people in the city TO whom relief would
be gladly extended by his organization
if the means were at its disposal, but
unfortunately they are not. Winter
has set in in all its severity, and suffer
ing has already begun among those
whose imprOyidence or misfortune has
prevented them from making due pro-
vision for the seasons rigOrS.
The Relief society, non-sectarian III
its character. has in the past aided all
without regard to sect, creed or denom-
ination. 1t stands ready TO do the same
now if it is properly seconded by the
good people of St. Paul. And it should
be. 1t is unlike the generous spirit
which has at all times actuated the peO-
pie of this city to permit suffering to go
on in their midst when they can do
something to relieve it. There
is hardly any one who cannot
do something. Even the smallest con-
tributions will be acceptable. 1t IS not
necessary, either, that money should be
given. though contribution in that
form is perhaps most acceptable; but
any kind of wearing apparel. provisions,
fuel. anything in fact that can be util-
lied by those who have practically moth
ing, will be turned to good account.
SO ransack your closets. your store
rooms. yOurattics, and see if you can not
find something whose loss you will
never miss. but which would prove a
VeritabIe boon to some destitute family.
Merchants can give of their stOck-a
barrel of flour, for instance, from each
wholesale house in the city would never
be missed. and would be utilized by the
Relief society to excellent advantage.
Try the experiment of casting YOUR
bread upon the waters; and, even if it
doesn't return to you four fold after
many days. you will have the satisfac-
ton that always comes from a good
and charitable action.
Contributions can be sent directly to
the rooms of the society on East Ninth
street. And we hope the response to
the secretary's appeal will be suffi-
Gent indication that the spirit of char
ity finds lodging place in every st.
Paul citizen heart.

HE LETS CARS RUN OVER HIM
The Wonderful Nerve of a Five
Year-OId Urchin

Among other beauties and phenomena
Griffin possesses probably the only
young child i'll Georgia who would de-
liberately lie down on the railroad track
for the novel pleasure of seeing a
train of cars pass over his body, says
the News of that city. Possibly there
may be something in the nerve
of the name given him by his parents
that inspired Gilman Drake Tutwiler,
the five-year-old urchin who now has to
be kept III the house to prevent a rope
tition of such action. Almost every
body has seen this child, with gravity
above his age, running around the
streets, little, fat bit of humanity.
seeking knowledge and associates
among men rather than among the i'll
fants, of which he is really one. One
day not long ago he got OH the
cow-catcher of Georgia Mid
land locomotive to take a ride,
but fell off upon the track,
where he lay while the engine and train
passed over him, rising up at the rear
end of the train uninjured and chuck
ling at the adventure. So amusing was
it that few days afterward he went
down to the track and deliberately laid
down in front of the locomotive, unseen
by the engineer, for the purpose of re-
peating the episode and again succeeded
in escaping without injury.
But his singular predictions were
discovered and he has since been for
hidden the track by the maternal all-
thOrity, and has his freedom curtaled
III a manner that must prove very irk-
some to his adventurous disposition.

houses, horses, land, works of art and
other odds and ends of property belong
ing to the country.
The queen seems to consider that all
those things are her individual goods,
and has them put away in her private
storehOuse. While all this accumulation
is going on she spends comparatively
nothing. Her household is conducted
on the most economical plan, and the
man or woman who wastes cannot re-
main long about her.
1t is standing joke that she prefers
Scotland to England because the people
are so thrifty and so frugal, and it is
said that she prefers BalmOral to Buck
ingham or Windsor.
Victoria's subjects pretend to laugh
at these eccentricities, but in a grim
and surly manner, showing plainly that
a little more liberality on the part of
the queen would be relished. She is
shOrt-tempered, too, and very sensitive
of her prerOgatiYe and position.
One of her diSllkes to the Irish is that
they are constantly in an uproar and
calling the attention of other nations to
|Sfhe fact that all Is not harmony in her
dOminiOnS. She would have rulers
throughout the world believe that she is
the grandest, greatest and most popular
monarch in existence. She pretendS
that she is in reality the government of
the country and not the figure-head it is
supposed. She keeps up large cor
respOndence with foreign powers on
purpose to impress them with her inn
portance and influence. and she is al
ways Oh hand with advice i'll moments
of danger.
At home she rules with an iron hand.
10 Of nd hn loo nv
in all things, she makes the noble lords
and ladies stand round. Questions Of
etiquette are matters of life and death
to her, and woe be the unhappy mortal
who StirS out of his place.
Mr.. Gladstone and she are not good
friends because the stiff old cOmmOner
could never learn to bend the knee.
Though an EngliShman to the core and
devoted to her majesty, he never has
been able to win her favor.
The queen is large property holder,
and has agents continually on the look
out for good things. She owns houses
and lands in almost every country in
Europe, and the man who brings her
bargain is sure to be rewarded with
social distinction. This means business
in England, so that it may be inferred
her imperial majesty is often sweetened
with soft snap.
No one knows how much she owns or
the extent of her bank account. She is
as cunning in that as a miSer. 1t is con-
jectured that she has millions and the
summing up of her accounts would
place many figures to her credit, but
she allows them TO conjecture and says
nothing. Once in while it crops out
that such-and-Such a property is the
queens, and the people open their eyes
and say ''WellW
1t may be that the queen is gathering
all the money and boarding it up to
make the country handsome present
at her death, but her devoted subjects
are Skeptic i'll the matter and declare
they would rather see some of it now
while they are singing God Save the
Queen"

GLADsTONE's COMING.

The news that Mr.. GLADSTONE has
a-last consented to make this country
a visit will be received with the keeneSt
delight by Americans everywhere. 1t
is not too much to say that no foreigner
living is held in such universal regard
on this side of the water as England S
great premier Every true lover of
liberty regards him as the special cham
piOn of the oppressed, and the foremost
intellectual men OF the age see in him a
peer.
A man whose private life has been as
admirable as his character is lOvable,
whose services in behalf of the people
have been unremitting and tireless, who
has never neglected to take advantage
of an opportunity to manifest his re-
gard for this country and his admira-
ton for its Institutions, there are good
reasons why he should be even more
highly esteemed in America thanshe is
at home. Especially have his efforts
for the relief of IrelandS dOWntrOdden
people endeared him To all fair-play-lOv-
ing people in America. where ITeland'S
struggle for justice is watched so closely.
1t is wise decision that Mr.. GLAD
STONE has made TO come among us, for
even in his career of novel and dramatic
experiences he has never met with any
thing that could equal the reception
that will be rendered him over here.
Every city will he ploud to welcome
him. and though IT, a strange land, he
will he made to feel that he is indeed
not among strangers. And Mr.. GLAD
STONES career. in the nature of things
now drawing to a close, would be in
complete should he he deprived of a
visit to this wonderland. He has read
much about America, but he will find
the realization beyond his widest i'm
agining.
The itinerary of his journey has not
been made public, but when ii is. let us
hope that the Twin Cities will be found
on the list OF places he intends to visit
For throughout the length and breadth
of the land there is no place where the
grand old man is held i'll higher regard.

THE MADRIGAL.

Once as l walked in woodlands green,
/ CHANGED on Love, where he sat alone
Catching the notes of the air, and sheen
From sunrays broken and downward
thrown.
''What are you doing, Loves" quoth +
For Love and have been comrades true,
And speak him freely when none are nigh.
And ne answers me as he might not you!
81 am making madrigal," he said;.
81 need but rhyme to close it WE'LL
And, lol it seemed that a spiders thread
Glanced in the light and he caught its
spell.
Wonderful, beautiful, rare and sweet
1t lay there perfect, upon his hand:
1t throbbed with murmur, soft, complete
could not describe; could understand.
"And how will you send 1t, Lover" quoth l.
All, how he smiled, but he said no word;
But he beckoned me, and followed, shy,
And we came on poet, all unheard.
There. as he dreamed, did Love bestow
The little song on his ear, coEtent;
And so fled quickly that none might know
Where it was written and how 1t was sent!

THE PARK HOTELS.

The government has at last taken
cOgnizance of the trouble in connection
with the Yellowstone Park hotels and
their leasing. The management of the
hotels heretofore has not been satisfac-
tory. There has been a constant shift
ing about of ownership and a cOnse-
Quent lack of fixed responsibility that
has been productive of friction between
the hotel and park authorities, and
prejudicial to the interests of both the
government and tourists.
Regardless of the legal issues ROW in
VOWED, il would seem that the best SOlu-
ton of the question would be the as
sumption by the Northern Pacific rail-
road of the management of the hotels to
which it has had a quasi-claim. Such
settlement would give the government
a definite source from which to exact the
rent annually due and would rebound
